How to revive roses after winter frosts?

It is not for nothing that the rose bears the proud title of queen of flowers: even one modest bush of this plant can become a real decoration of any garden. However, the garden rose is a rather capricious flower, and it tolerates winter frosts especially poorly. That is why every gardener whose plot is decorated with thorny bushes has more than once wondered whether how to revive roses.

So, how to revive roses if low temperatures in winter literally “killed” the plants? Determine how the shrubs survived the winter, it will be possible in early May. Unfortunately, a rose without a single living bud and with completely dried branches cannot be saved. If at least one living bud or a small green piece of a branch appears on the bush, the plant will live, but it needs help. You can try withbuild a kind of greenhouse for the plant: cut off the bottom of a large (at least five-liter bottle) and place it above the bush without closing the lid. The young plant can be completely covered with soil, which must be watered as it dries.

An old plant that cannot be covered with soil or covered with some kind of greenhouse shelter will be helped carrying out a grafting stripping operation. The graft must be dug out and, if it consists of only stumps, cut them down. Then the old bark should be completely removed from the graft so that it does not interfere with the growth of dormant buds. However, it must be borne in mind that such an event can only be carried out if if there are no awakened buds on the plant, otherwise they can simply be broken.
